Thank an educator on National Teacher Appreciation Day

WASHINGTON — Have a teacher who helped you learn or gave you direction? Tuesday is a day to offer thanks because it’s National Teacher Appreciation Day.

WTOP took to Twitter to ask people about some the teachers who deserve a pat on the back.

There’s an added benefit to thanking teachers through social media Tuesday. The National Education Association and the National PTA are selecting 10 random people thanking a teacher using #ThankATeacher on social media to receive a $100 Visa gift card to give to their favorite teacher for supplies.

Have a teacher you appreciate? Let us know with #WTOP.
